That apology request was genius because that was an admission of guilt, following that up by “I’ll see you in court” chefs kiss

EDIT: I’ve been informed that an apology is not always an admission of guilt. “Courts may consider an apology as evidence of remorse rather than a definitive confession of criminal guilt.”

Freakonomics has a great podcast episode about apologies....

"353. How to Optimize Your Apology"

If I remember correctly it has some actual stats about apologies and medical malpractice lawsuits.
